f(x)’s “When I’m Alone” is that Carly Rae Jepsen fap track, but not quite

Yes, f(x)‘s “When I’m Alone” is indeed the same song that Carly Rae Jepsen wrote about masturbation.

Appropriately enough, “When I’m Alone” has quite a build and an explosion at the hook, and as a bonus it works better sonically than their title track.

However, unless I’m missing nuances, while the song was still composed by Carly Rae Jepsen, the lyrics are not explictly some kind of masturbation tribute like I had hoped it would be for the newer, “maturer” f(x). Alas.
